The Cougar was designed as a UNSC AFV, equipped with two [[M68 Gauss cannon]]s. Although anti-heavy armor fire would blow the Cougar away quite easily, this vehicle was highly effective in holding off enemy armored vehicles until slower armored units could arrive at the battlefield. The Cougar had gained infamy in several urban tactical situations prior to the deployments in the war against the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Site|Id=HWFeatures|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Features.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Features|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/Features|D=14|M=7|Y=2007}}

It appeared as a somewhat standard armored fighting vehicle with two wheels up front and two pairs in the rear. It bore a small mounted turret armed with two [[M68 Gauss cannon]]s, as well as a machine gun or grenade launcher on other concept art.{{Ref/Reuse|CAThreadP2}} There was a windscreen on its forward body, with two side windows to provide a fairly high amount of visibility for the driver, which would have proved useful. It would have been able to reach a top speed of 90mph.{{Ref/Reuse|CAThreadP2}}

The Cougar was ultimately cut from the game in favor of other vehicle ideas.{{Ref/Site|Id=HW021408|URL=http://www.halowars.com/news/articles/archive/2008/02/14/Halo-Wars-Monthly-Update-02.14.08.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Halo Wars Monthly Update 02/14/08|D=09|M=5|Y=2008}} Its shape may have proved the inspiration of the [[SP42 Cobra]], as its role in ''Halo Wars'' was originally an anti-vehicle unit. The Cougar bears a striking resemblance to the World War II armored car, the [[Wikipedia:M8 Greyhound|M8 Greyhound]].

===Falcon===
;Needed parameters
{{Quote|The UNSC Falcon is the primary air attack unit of the UNSC Army. With swift attacks and exceptional maneuverability a small squad of Falcons can be devastating to enemy vessels. Armed with sidewinder missiles and heavy armor piercing guns.|Concept art description}}
Not to be confused with a [[Cut Halo 2 vehicles|cut vehicle of the same name]] from ''[[Halo 2]]'' or the [[UH-144 Falcon|tiltrotor helicopter]] that appeared in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the Falcon was a UNSC aircraft that got so far as having a 3D model made. The Falcon was a twin seater fighter aircraft planned to be used by the [[UNSC Army]]. Originally intended to be a usable unit, stored in the [[UNSC airpad]], it filled the role of strike fighter, packing enough firepower to destroy enemy vehicles and infantry with "Sidewinder" missiles and heavy armor-piercing guns. Like several other units, it was cut from the final game before it shipped.{{Ref/Site|Id=CAThreadP2|URL=http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?152206-**UPDATE**-page-2-(March-10)-Halo-Wars-Concept-art-dump!-(Huge-DL)/page2|Site=conceptart.org|Page=**UPDATE** page 2 (March 10) Halo Wars Concept art dump! (Huge DL)|ArchiveURL=https://archive.is/Pwbtu|D=12|M=1|Y=2013}}


In terms of design, the Falcon uses forward-swept wings (giving it an appearance similar to the 20th Century [[Wikipedia:Sukhoi Su-47|Sukhoi Su-47]]), which are used to provide stability during steep dives, indicating an emphasis in air-to-ground combat. Another, smaller set of wing flaps are attached to the ventral hull, possibly to improve stability. It also possesses two inward-angled vertical stabilizers at the rear, and missile pods attached to the base of the wing and the ventral hull. At the rear of the craft are twin jet thrusters, capable of tilting to allow [[VTOL]] capability. Retractable landing gear appears to be located at the wing tips.

===Fox Cannon===
;General class attributes
{{Quote|The UNSC Fox Cannon is a mobil log[sic] range artillery cannon firing rounds to ranges exceeding 50KM (52.8 maximum). Capable of firing five rounds per minute with satellite targeting. Firing 175mm M197 projectiles with destructive results.|Concept art description}}
* Hull symbol
The '''Fox Cannon''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] vehicle cut from ''[[Halo Wars]]''. It was to be a self-propelled artillery vehicle, capable of firing five shells per minute, and with great accuracy due to satellite targeting over a distance greater than 50 kilometers. The Fox was equipped with a 175mm cannon that shot the M179 projectile. Given its role, it was likely replaced by the [[SP42 Cobra]].

===Leviathan Mobile Firebase===
;General individual ship attributes
The Leviathan Mobile Firebase is a [[UNSC]] vehicle concepted during the development of ''Halo Wars'', but evidently never implemented. The vehicle is similar in size to the [[M510 Mammoth|Mammoth]], being many times the size of an [[M12 Warthog]] and serving as a mobile [[Firebase]]. The vehicle is seen to have several different configurations such as a "Suicide assault" variant with nose-mounted saw blades and a "Paris gun" variant equipped with a massive artillery cannon. However, the primary variant appears to be a vehicle that would fill a role similar to that fulfilled by the [[M312 Elephant]] in the final game, sporting numerous machine gun turrets, a mobile [[UNSC Barracks|barracks]] and the ability to tow a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]], like that seen in the mission [[Reactor (Halo Wars level)|Reactor]].

===Mongoose===
Early on in the development of ''Halo Wars'', the [[M274 Mongoose]] was intended to be included. The vehicle got as far as having a model created and implemented in game, though by the time of the [[Halo Wars alpha|"Sway" alpha]], all that remained in the files was a handful of text strings referencing <code>test_pj_mongoose</code>.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=YTAlpha|My3Fqj63gYI|The Vengeful 'Vadam|Full Analysis of the Halo Wars Alpha "Sway" Build}}


To create this Mongoose model, Ensemble 3D artist Jenell Jaquays had to rely on observing screenshots of the Mongoose as seen in ''[[Halo 3]]'', as [[Bungie]] were unwilling to share the original model file with Ensemble.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.facebook.com/Jennell.Jaquays.Artist/posts/halo-wars-was-the-last-project-that-i-did-with-ensemble-studios-we-completed-the/1544019829199457/|Site=Facebook|Page=Jennell Jaquays' Halo Wars pre-release overview|Quote=My low poly take on the Mongoose from Halo 3.

However, its heavy [[plasma mortar]] cannons can lay waste to an entire [[UNSC]] [[Firebase|base]] quickly and it is therefore critical that we gain more field information on this vehicle.|Official description.{{Ref/Reuse|HWFeatures}}}}
The Covenant Air Artillery was a unit cut from ''Halo Wars'' some time prior to January 2008.{{Ref/Reuse|HW021408}} The vehicle was to boast three [[plasma mortar]]s, and was intended for use in a ground attack role - noted to be especially effective against static bases.{{Ref/Reuse|HWFeatures}}

The "Brute Tank" is a vehicle cut from the game, notable for its high similarity to the existing [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]].

Although the Brute Tank icon found in the final release of ''Halo Wars'' depicts a Wraith with a Scorpion turret, some models seen in earlier builds have a more distinctive appearance of a Wraith with a more Covenant-style turret; these vehicles bear some resemblance to certain ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' concept art, shown below. Another piece of concept art uploaded to ArtStation by Nathan Stefan shows a vehicle very similar to the Brute Tank, though the image itself is named <code>gorgon-005</code> - this vehicle bears little resemblance to the [[#Gorgon|Gorgon]], so the art's status is unclear.  
The '''''Sahara''-class heavy prowler'''<ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 190''</ref> is a class of [[UNSC prowler|stealth vessel]] in the [[UNSC Navy]]. Like most prowlers, ships of the class are designated with the [[hull classification symbol]] '''PRO''', followed by a numeric designation.<ref name="mythos">'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 140''</ref>{{Ref/Site|Id=HUProwler|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/oni-prowler|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=ONI Prowler|D=19|M=01|Y=2021}}

===Elite Rangers===
===Armament===
Found in some screenshots and an animation reel uploaded by animator Charles Tinney, the Elite Ranger was evidently to be a flying infantry unit. Their design is that of the [[Sangheili Ranger|Elite Rangers]] found in ''Halo 2''.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://vimeo.com/24789949|Site=Vimeo|Page=Halo Wars Show Reel|D=02|M=5|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Reuse|YTAlpha}}
Since prowlers usually avoid combat, besides active combat monitoring and recording, the armaments and weapon systems on a ''Sahara''-class prowler is limited. They are armed with several [[XEV9-Matos nonlinear pulse cannon]]s, allowing the prowlers to protect themselves if they are attacked. ''Sahara''-class prowlers are usually equipped with at least one [[Shiva-class nuclear missile#M947 Shiva|M947 Shiva Nuclear Delivery System]]. The main armament of the prowler is its [[M441 Hornet Remote Explosive System]]. With the mines, the prowlers lay out minefields in space for enemy ships to unknowingly enter.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}

===Gargoyle===
==Operational history==
Named only in game files, the Gargoyle was intended to be a Covenant bomber aircraft. In the final game, a menu icon is still present in the files to represent the unit.
''Sahara''-class prowlers had entered service with the UNSC Navy by [[2526]], where each of the three squadrons of [[Task Force Yama]] were led by a heavy prowler.<ref name="HSS5">'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''Chapter 5''</ref> In [[2553]], after the [[Human-Covenant War]], the ''Sahara''-class prowler {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}} was used as transportation for the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] black ops team known as [[Kilo-Five]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page ??''</ref> In [[2558]], the ''Sahara''-class prowler {{UNSCShip|Aladdin}} was used to transport [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], incarcerated by ONI for war crimes, to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.{{Ref/Reuse|catherine}} In [[2558#May|May 2558]], [[SPARTAN-IV]]s [[Naiya Ray]] and [[Gabriel Thorne]] used a ''Sahara''-class prowler to investigate a [[biological agent]], created by several [[Kig-Yar]], on [[Ven III]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 11|Issue #11]]''</ref>

===Gorgon===
==Ships of the line==
{{Quote|When we originally spec'd out the Covenant, we gave them a ground-based, antiair unit called the Gorgon (above left) -- a bulbous, biped walker that used heavy Needlers to rip apart thin-skinned aircraft. Once it was in the game, though, we realized that we'd created a recognition problem: was the Gorgon a vehicle or infantry unit? We intended for it to be a vehicle, but the legs were causing problems, since we also said that "anything with two legs that walks is a dude." The final nail in the Gorgon coffin? The Covenant already had too many ground vehicles; we needed more air units.|Dave Pottinger on the Gorgon.{{Ref/Reuse|1UP}}}}
*[[PRO-49776]] - Used to conduct [[Operation: WARM BLANKET]] in 2544.
The Gorgon was a vehicle created for the Covenant and intended for use in the anti-air role. The vehicle was envisioned as a walker equipped with a [[heavy needle cannon]], used to attack air targets. The vehicle's mech-based nature conflicted with Ensemble's philosophy that anything with legs was considered infantry, and the overwhelming abundance of Covenant ground vehicles - combined with the relative lack of aircraft - ultimately led to the Gorgon being scrapped and replaced with the [[Type-29 Vampire]].{{Ref/Site|Id=1UP|URL=http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.offset=0&cId=3172311&p=|Site=1UP|Page=10 Things You Didn't Know About Halo Wars|D=13|M=4|Y=2016}} A very similar vehicle; the [[Reaver]], was later implemented in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]''.

===Recon Drone===
==Sources==
Present in the "Sway" alpha, the Recon Drone appears on an early version of the map [[Repository]] as a unit buildable in the map's central [[Sentinel manufacturing facility|Sentinel factory]] alongside [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Despite this Forerunner construction and neutral placement, the Recon Drone takes the form of a [[Yanme'e]]. The Drone has a complete model and animations, and is able to fly at high speeds around the map. True to its name, the Drone has no attacks, and is instead only intended for scouting.{{Ref/Reuse|YTAlpha}}

===Scarab (Protos variant)===
{{Human Ships}}
{{Quote|The Scarab has an anti-everything gun, and I'm losing.|Graeme Devine's remark upon encountering the Scarab in the E3 demo.}}
Seen in the [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]] 2007 build and on the box art for ''Halo Wars'', among other promotional screenshots, is the [[Type-47A Scarab|Type-47A "Protos" Scarab]] - the Scarab variant notably found in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' campaign levels ''[[Outskirts]]'', ''[[Metropolis]]'' and ''[[The Great Journey]]''. In the final ''Halo Wars'' game, the [[Type-47B Scarab]] design notably used in ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' is used.


In the E3 2007 demo, the Scarab appears near the end in a short viginette, climbing out of a Forerunner underground shaft. The Scarab proceeds to rampage across the battlefield, destroying several tanks and other units, and must ultimately be destroyed via [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC orbital bombardment]].

The Sahara-class heavy prowler[10] is a class of stealth vessel in the UNSC Navy. Like most prowlers, ships of the class are designated with the hull classification symbol PRO, followed by a numeric designation.[6][11]

Overview

Design details

Like most prowlers, the Sahara-class is equipped with stealth systems that mask the ship from both visual and sensor detection. These systems include an active camouflage, leaving the prowler nearly invisible to the naked eye.[12]

The ship has a ventral launch bay fitted with hook systems used to deploy EVA maneuvering vehicles.[6]

Armament

Since prowlers usually avoid combat, besides active combat monitoring and recording, the armaments and weapon systems on a Sahara-class prowler is limited. They are armed with several XEV9-Matos nonlinear pulse cannons, allowing the prowlers to protect themselves if they are attacked. Sahara-class prowlers are usually equipped with at least one M947 Shiva Nuclear Delivery System. The main armament of the prowler is its M441 Hornet Remote Explosive System. With the mines, the prowlers lay out minefields in space for enemy ships to unknowingly enter.[10]

Operational history

Sahara-class prowlers had entered service with the UNSC Navy by 2526, where each of the three squadrons of Task Force Yama were led by a heavy prowler.[13] In 2553, after the Human-Covenant War, the Sahara-class prowler UNSC Port Stanley was used as transportation for the Office of Naval Intelligence black ops team known as Kilo-Five.[14] In 2558, the Sahara-class prowler UNSC Aladdin was used to transport Dr. Catherine Halsey, incarcerated by ONI for war crimes, to the UNSC Infinity.[12] In May 2558, SPARTAN-IVs Naiya Ray and Gabriel Thorne used a Sahara-class prowler to investigate a biological agent, created by several Kig-Yar, on Ven III.[15]
